What was so funny about Millard Fillmore?
He was not particularly funny in any way that I know of. His first name is very unusual for a first name- it was his mother's maiden name and maybe some would think it is funny- might remind you of mallard which is a duck. As president he is among the most obscure since he took over when the president died and did not get the nomination to run an an incumbent, although he was nominated in 1856 by a third party and got some 20% of the popular vote and carried Maryland.
